Rocky Cape National Park Description
Rocky Cape National Park, established in 1967 to protect the prehistoric caves, is a rugged stretch of coast with reefs and small offshore islands.

The caves, occupied by the aboriginal inhabitants of Tasmania over thousands of years, are of great archaeological interest for the great heaps of animal and fish bones and shells, which throw light on the life of the Aborigines. Rock shelters that provided protection from the weather can be seen at the west end of Sisters Beach and on Flagpole Hill at Rocky Cape. Along the coast are little hidden beaches sheltered by promontories of quartzite rock reaching out into the Bass Strait.
